# 293536 09-Jan-2016 dchagin

MFC r283432:

Being exported through vdso the note.Linux section used by glibc
to determine the kernel version (this saves one uname call).
Temporarily disable the export of a note.Linux section until I figured
out how to change the kernel version in the note.Linux on the fly.


# 293514 09-Jan-2016 dchagin

MFC r283407:

Implement vdso - virtual dynamic shared object. Through vdso Linux
exposes functions from kernel with proper DWARF CFI information so that
it becomes easier to unwind through them.
Using vdso is a mandatory for a thread cancelation && cleanup
on a modern glibc.


# 256281 10-Oct-2013 gjb

Copy head (r256279) to stable/10 as part of the 10.0-RELEASE cycle.

# 187948 31-Jan-2009 obrien

Change some movl's to mov's. Newer GAS no longer accept 'movl' instructions
for moving between a segment register and a 32-bit memory location.

Looked at by: jhb


# 182849 07-Sep-2008 kib

Segment registers are stored in the uc_mcontext member of the struct
l_ucontext. To restore the registers content, trampoline needs to
dereference uc_mcontext instead of taking some undefined values from
l_ucontext.

# 73011 25-Feb-2001 jake

Remove the leading underscore from all symbols defined in x86 asm
and used in C or vice versa. The elf compiler uses the same names
for both. Remove asnames.h with great prejudice; it has served its
purpose.

Note that this does not affect the ability to generate an aout kernel
due to gcc's -mno-underscores option.

# 69081 23-Nov-2000 marcel

o Change the argument of linux_sigreturn to be a pointer to a
struct sigframe. We need more than only the signal context.

o Properly convert the signal mask when setting up the signal
frame in linux_sendsig and properly convert it back in
linux_sigreturn.

Do some cleanups and improve style while here.


# 68583 10-Nov-2000 marcel

Revert auto-generation. The Alpha port is broken.
Syncing with it is wrong.


# 68519 09-Nov-2000 marcel

Sync with Alpha:
Do not use sysent.c, proto.h and syscall.h in source tree;
use auto-generated versions.


# 67234 17-Oct-2000 gallatin

A start at an implemention of linux_rt_sendsig & linux_rt_sigreturn
and associated user-level signal trampoline glue.

Without this patch, an SA_SIGINFO style handler can be installed by a linux
app, but if the handler accesses its sip argument, it will get a garbage
pointer and likely segfault.

We currently supply a valid pointer, but its contents are mainly
garbage. Filling this in properly is future work.

This is the second of 3 commits that will get IBM's JDK 1.3 working with
FreeBSD ...


# 60302 10-May-2000 obrien

AT&T asm syntax requires a leading '*' in front of the operand for indirect
calls and jumps.


# 52140 11-Oct-1999 luoqi

Add a per-signal flag to mark handlers registered with osigaction, so we
can provide the correct context to each signal handler.

Fix broken sigsuspend(): don't use p_oldsigmask as a flag, use SAS_OLDMASK
as we did before the linuxthreads support merge (submitted by bde).

Move ps_sigstk from to p_sigacts to the main proc structure since signal
stack should not be shared among threads.

Move SAS_OLDMASK and SAS_ALTSTACK flags from sigacts::ps_flags to proc::p_flag.
Move PS_NOCLDSTOP and PS_NOCLDWAIT flags from proc::p_flag to procsig::ps_flag.

# 50363 25-Aug-1999 marcel

Use ALIGN_TEXT macro for alignment to avoid ambiguity.

Pointed out by: bde


# 50343 25-Aug-1999 marcel

Fix stack misalignment for Linux binaries caused by `linux_sigcode' not being
a multiple of 4 bytes in size. This solves the recent SIGBUS errors for
glibc2.1 configurations.

Explained by: bde


# 46129 28-Apr-1999 luoqi

Enable vmspace sharing on SMP. Major changes are,
- %fs register is added to trapframe and saved/restored upon kernel entry/exit.
- Per-cpu pages are no longer mapped at the same virtual address.
- Each cpu now has a separate gdt selector table. A new segment selector
is added to point to per-cpu pages, per-cpu global variables are now
accessed through this new selector (%fs). The selectors in gdt table are
rearranged for cache line optimization.
- fask_vfork is now on as default for both UP and SMP.
- Some aio code cleanup.

# 14331 02-Mar-1996 peter

Mega-commit for Linux emulator update.. This has been stress tested under
netscape-2.0 for Linux running all the Java stuff. The scrollbars are now
working, at least on my machine. (whew! :-)

I'm uncomfortable with the size of this commit, but it's too
inter-dependant to easily seperate out.

The main changes:

COMPAT_LINUX is *GONE*. Most of the code has been moved out of the i386
machine dependent section into the linux emulator itself. The int 0x80
syscall code was almost identical to the lcall 7,0 code and a minor tweak
allows them to both be used with the same C code. All kernels can now
just modload the lkm and it'll DTRT without having to rebuild the kernel
first. Like IBCS2, you can statically compile it in with "options LINUX".

A pile of new syscalls implemented, including getdents(), llseek(),
readv(), writev(), msync(), personality(). The Linux-ELF libraries want
to use some of these.

linux_select() now obeys Linux semantics, ie: returns the time remaining
of the timeout value rather than leaving it the original value.

Quite a few bugs removed, including incorrect arguments being used in
syscalls.. eg: mixups between passing the sigset as an int, vs passing
it as a pointer and doing a copyin(), missing return values, unhandled
cases, SIOC* ioctls, etc.

The build for the code has changed. i386/conf/files now knows how
to build linux_genassym and generate linux_assym.h on the fly.

Supporting changes elsewhere in the kernel:

The user-mode signal trampoline has moved from the U area to immediately
below the top of the stack (below PS_STRINGS). This allows the different
binary emulations to have their own signal trampoline code (which gets rid
of the hardwired syscall 103 (sigreturn on BSD, syslog on Linux)) and so
that the emulator can provide the exact "struct sigcontext *" argument to
the program's signal handlers.

The sigstack's "ss_flags" now uses SS_DISABLE and SS_ONSTACK flags, which
have the same values as the re-used SA_DISABLE and SA_ONSTACK which are
intended for sigaction only. This enables the support of a SA_RESETHAND
flag to sigaction to implement the gross SYSV and Linux SA_ONESHOT signal
semantics where the signal handler is reset when it's triggered.

makesyscalls.sh no longer appends the struct sysentvec on the end of the
generated init_sysent.c code. It's a lot saner to have it in a seperate
file rather than trying to update the structure inside the awk script. :-)

At exec time, the dozen bytes or so of signal trampoline code are copied
to the top of the user's stack, rather than obtaining the trampoline code
the old way by getting a clone of the parent's user area. This allows
Linux and native binaries to freely exec each other without getting
trampolines mixed up.
